Create a story or poem with the theme of 'Dead Roses'.
Wilted
My adoration for you began like a seed.
Planted in the cool earth to grow and enlarge.
As I grew, it followed suit.
Strengthing with the years of love and care.
The work you put in as its gardener created a blosoming rose
Years of vibrant colours and a reinforced stem
You watered, nourished, cared
But my growing perception browned the tips
You dropped the hose
You left it to fend for itself
You ignored the care of the bush you began to grow
Letting it down, it wilted,
losing its once vivacious life.
I was left to pick up the petals,
One by one
Re-glueing the buds back together.
Re-growing the damage you brought
Re-hydrating your drought
